Don't you see? Talk to guys who are in their 40's and above who are finally getting that "good schedule" and "decent pay".....more than half of them are either single or divorced and have nothing except a child support payment and big empty closet to hang their lonely uniform in. You think landing the 777 once a month makes up for all that? Enjoy your life NOW. Do what you love but don't who're yourself out for promise of a brighter future flying the "big iron". That's all this career is. Empty promises. Do what you love, stay true to yourself and your loved ones. If the career comes, great. Take it from me, you do not want to be that 30 year 747 captain who has to pickup 95 hours a month to pay his 4 wives house payments. When you die, you can't take siht with you. Ok im done, I think you guys understand.
That's not what this job has become. That is what 99% of America has become. We have given away everything that made this place great... Just walk through security and see how we bend over backwards to NOT offend those that are most likely to be those posing the greatest threat.
You may well have kept from offending them, you just offended me instead. Face it there is NO way to NOT offend someone for the sake of political correctness. All that will do is create opportunities for the next nut bomber.
